8421  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO ranking based on machine learning algorithm!! on: October 24, 2017, 06:32:50 PM
Thoughts?!! 



SyncFab was rated a 97% based on machine learning algorithm developed at NYU.

They've analyzed over 6,000 startup founders based on their educational background, work history, startup experience and personality (deduced using AI from analyzing their digital footprint).

Other ICO ratings are: Mobius (84%), MedCredit (41%), The Credit Protocol (84%).

I looked through it and I think there is lack of information about the exact procedure of this kind of analysis. I don't think AI is able to do that work on a decent level anyway. Take experience as an example. How does it define which experience is more important? By the amount of projects some team member participated in? Or maybe it even check the amount of info in google on the project to evaluate it? Even in this case it is likely to make big mistakes, because there can be a lot of negative news about the project but AI will consider it to be positive experience. I guess for today only human being can decide in what to invest on one's own risk.
8422  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In it just for the money? on: October 24, 2017, 06:20:05 PM
When investing in ICOs, are there times when you invest for a high ROI but don't really care for the cause behind the project? Or do you only invest when you believe the project has a strong use case and feel personally attached?

I am new to BitcoinTalk but I am not new to investing. With all my investments, my criteria is whether I believe in the idea and whether it is something the world needs. In other words, if I don't feel personally invested in the idea, then I won't be investing my money.

For example, there is a new project called Protex and I invested in their pre-sale because I believe they are going to solve a major issue the entire world has. They are a data security company that will give the power of data back to the users instead of large corporations. All while essentially eliminate data breaches. With a platform that will positively affect everyday of my life, it is easy to be invested in them.

But I want to know your thoughts! In it just for the money?
I think it is very sweet you invest in the project which you find important for humanity. At least this is a good strategy, because if you don't gain profit in such a case you know you tried to make this world better. Does such strategy give you profit mostly?
I think most of people here invest in the project regardless to its idea and focusing on money. I invest in the coins I like for their projects but sometimes I also buy something just to earn some money while selling it afterwards.
To be honest, I am in it for the money in every aspect Smiley

Well, I wouldnt join anything if it clearly was illegal and/or morally wrong stuff. But other than that its for the potential money Smiley
Yeah, I agree about the morally wrong and illegal part. I never invest in projects which I myself find unappealing like currencies for paying webcams with young girls or used specifically to buy weapon, fake money or drugs. At these cases I don't care how profitable they might be, I just can't invest in them.
8423  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: As Bitcoin's Price increase what would happen to Altcoins? on: October 24, 2017, 05:33:25 PM
When bitcoin price increases, altcoin price will go down and when that scenario continues, altcoins will continue to price down. If altcoins are still pricing down, the investors of altcoins will lose trust or hope on investing that kind of cryptocurrency. If that scenario continues, that coin will have no value.
When increasing bitcoin, altcoins always fall, and this is a good time to buy
These are simply speculations, not statements about the real case with coins on the market. I remember when in May btc was growing and so did most of altcoins, so people kept saying that btc always pulls altcoins together with it. Now the situation is mainly different and you say that it's vice versa. There are no strict correlation at all. Now btc is a bit down and alts are up, for example, but it doesn't mean we can predict what would happen tomorrow if btc keeps going down, for example.
8424  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Altcoins? on: October 24, 2017, 05:20:37 PM
I gather some altcoins based on the researches but I want to know your ideas

you think, which one have a good potential to increase in the future?

Aragon
BAT
Civic
Salt
BNT
District
Status
Wings
Firstblood
FunFair
Storj
Waves
REAL
Cardano
Musiccoin
Burst
Rise
EOS
OMG

I am sorry but I think that most of your altcoins are rather risky in terms of investment. SALT has an interesting project, discrict is quite awesome, waves truly has potential as a platform and burst is closely related to a specific casino which makes it potentially profitable. I am not so sure about your other coins. If you want to get profit long-term, the easiest and safest thing to do is to invest in top-10 coins in terms of their marketcap. Yes, some will leave the stage but most will remain on high positions with the prices going up. Just check out historical screenshots on coinmarketcap to see what I'm talking about.
As for my personal favourites, they are IOTA, Blackmoon and Electroneum.

8426  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wil Ethereum surpass Bitcoin in the long term? on: October 23, 2017, 10:53:15 AM
No I don't think so. I think both of them will rise, and presently ETH is undervalued, but I don't see it ever overtaking. I think the tech is strong and it might have more real-world/business uses (I see it working with existing banking), but I don't think it can ever surpass the value of BTC...at least that is without a major major crash and the banning of BTC or something.
That is a fair point. Ethereum is obviously better than bitcoin in terms of opportunities it provides to users. Smart contracts are now a must for currencies. Eth is also better in terms of transaction speed and fee. Nevertheless, ethereum also has its big down which is security problem as well as lack of popularity. New people first hear about bitcoin and a lot of them don't go further at all. This is also a factor that might be a great obstacle on eth's way to the throne.

8429  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Thoughts about my crypto protfolio? on: October 20, 2017, 08:14:32 AM
Looking forward to the remarks what crypto experts think about my portfolio as long term investment.

LTC: 126
STRAT: 1554
IOTA: 9527
WAVES: 560
XRP: 9220
XLM: 37147
BTC: 1



I think holding ltc, iota, waves and xrp is really great. Litecoin is really trusted and this is what should guarantee it's good price. As for iota, this is my favourite coin, for it is the most innovative thing I've ever seen. Waves is simply a great platform for tokens and XRP has good chances of dealing with banks. I don't understand why do you hold stratis, for to me this coin seems innovation-free. Stellar Lumens is also something I don't understand here. Finally, I think you should sell your stratis and stellar lumens for more btc, because this coin is still the most reliable one.
8430  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: This is why KIN has HUGE potential!!! on: October 20, 2017, 08:02:28 AM
Should you enumerate real reasons for using blockchain in that industry?
Well, I guess this is self-evident, for people in such cases want it to be as hard as possible to identify them. Cryptocurrencies offer this unique opportunity of payments with no ID. Yet what is not clear is whether some specific new coin is needed instead of accepting, for example, Dash.
Kik token distribution has ended and there's quite a lot of news on the coin. The price is mostly going down and trading volume is shy $56K.
8431  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BEWARE FOR FAKE OMISEGO AIRDROP MAIL! LOST ALL MY FUNDS! on: October 20, 2017, 07:51:01 AM
On top of never ever giving out your private key, you need to always be cognizant of the url link that you are clicking! OmiseGo's website is https://omg.omise.co/, not the one OP linked. This isn't porn, leave those risky clicks un-clicked.
Υes, I guess fake websites which look a lot the same are actually the biggest problem people have in the world of cryptocurrencies. We have to be very attentive on the links we use. Yet I don't understand why did the op give private key at all.. Aren't you like supposed not to give it even to the most legit-looking people? Or was it just entering the key on a wrong website? I guess this is more explainable. It is very unfortunate the OP lost all assets from that wallet.
If you really lost a lot you might try to find out more about the email address and try creating a complaint of FBI website but this is not likely to help a lot as well...
8432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If No more ICO what do you do as a bounty hunter ? on: October 20, 2017, 07:40:51 AM
if you do not have a side job other than bounty hunter  what do you guys do as a bounty hunter if there is no more ICO ??

First, I doubt that there will be no ICO in the coming future. Actually the number could double in the next years. Second, you can do trading, although riskier than just joining ICO bounty because there's a capital involved and there are chances that you can lost. Third, you can go back to bitcoin signature campaigns, although competition is really tough because managers look for potential participants with good post, unlike those ICO that will readily accepts everyone, even with Red Trust.
I agree that ICOs are very unlikely to disappear and even if that happens something else is very likely to come into existence instead. As for trading, I think it's actually a lot safer than joining ICO bounty for a very simple reason: when one invests in an ICO it can end up with all money loat and no way to get it back, whereas in case of a poor investment you lose money but can always sell the coins for at least something.
8433  Economy / Economics / Re: Bumps on the road to BTC general adaptation, preventing increase in its price on: October 20, 2017, 07:16:43 AM
I looked at my web search history and I see that I searched for bitcoin back in 2013, 2016 and 2017. In every instance, I saw negative comments, especially from mainstream media and how useless bitcoin is. Most of the time apparently I went to bitcoin.com and it did not convince me to get bitcoin. I vaguely remember going to a faucet one time back in 2013 but it was full of ads and I did not get the concept back then Sad
This happened until after I was fired from my job and saw the high increase in 2017 July, which is kinda late. I spent like 2 months to figure out how to send fiat money to a good exchange.
These are the bumps on the road to the general adaptation of bitcoin.
Do you have an idea on how we can make Google search bitcoin-friendly?

Even now the top three search results come up with:
Bitcoin rallies to hit a one-month high but experts warn of a volatile upcoming event
C[Suspicious link removed]m · 23 hours ago
Bitcoin's price bubble will burst under government pressure
The Guardian · 18 hours ago
Collapse of Bitcoin Inevitable According to Harvard Economics Professor
CoinTelegraph · 5 hours ago
ALL NEGATIVE!
That's the cruel reality. Banks want to keep leaving and they need people to keep their money in them. Thus, they are not interested in popularity of bitcoin, for it may ruin the business. Countries' economics might also be hurt, for nobody's paying taxes while operating with big amounts of bitcoin. What is also interesting is that news depend on the language. For instance, most of Ukrainian news about bitcoin are positive or neutral.
8434  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What does everyone think of this ICO? (Newbie) on: October 19, 2017, 07:52:35 PM
Everybody said it's a great project but nobody spent the time explaining why they think so.  The idea of the project is to connect companies with people who are likely to consume the offered goods. Okay, that's a good idea to pay the consumers for improvements. It is also sort of true that the system is locked on itself, for consumers get paid for advice and then buy the goods for the money they received. However, there's no strict information about the way project will be realized and the way it works since March 2017. Furthermore, I don't understand why is a special coin needed for such a project to exist, because here there're no specific assignments for a coin.
8435  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Calvin Ayre Declares Bitcoin Cash “The Only Bitcoin” on: October 19, 2017, 07:40:57 PM
I've seen trusted members of this forum saying the same thing about bitcoin cash and I actually thought that this will lead to huge loss of dominance of bitcoin segwit. It is not what happened, of course. What's more, why do you talk about this guy Ayre as some sort of authority? He's just a really rich guy who donated some money on bitcoin development and is now sort of engaged in it. Nevertheless, he's not even a programmer! He's just a businessman.
8436  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: in crypto world it's not about money on: October 19, 2017, 07:27:24 PM
all of these scam ico's have tens and hundreds of millions dollar but they can't push out anything. it is not about money and advertising hype in crypto world like most these scam coin or token platforms are doing right now. it's all about team and ability to code.

so, the good coders are already find or have their own place. all the new scams popping up will be pushing out nothing but take your hard earn Bitcoin. their hype scam promises should be worth nothing. take my word for it.
Well, I agree that good coders are needed for coins to become worth something but maybe the problem is not that there are no good coders but that some of them are not interested in cryptocurrencies while others can't find a job, because scam projects don't actually need them, for they simply want to get rich fast.
As for cryptoworld and money, surely there are other things like ideology which comes along with most of coins and that it also rather important in new projects as well.
8437  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scam or real ico on: October 19, 2017, 06:48:43 PM
Nobody will tell you that ICO scam or really promising project. You should do your own researches. First of all find promising and simple ICO then read whitepaper several times after that do some research about team and advisors and their reputation.
Why an ICO has to be simple? The ideas behind it better be big, or otherwise nobody would want to invest in it. Though you are right about simplicity in terms of possibility to describe the idea in a simple and understandable way. This will encourage people to buy the coin, for it will make them feel proud that they understood a complicated idea. Who knows, maybe segwit was chosen instead of bitcoin unlimited, because it was a lot more understandable.
As for promising icos, apart from whitepaper and dev team it is worth looking at partners and roadmap of the project.
8438  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which coin can go to $100 next year? on: October 19, 2017, 06:33:37 PM
I guess NEO can easily achieve more than 100$ price next year. The real growth would be depend on China crypto politics. But I hope there will be good times for crypto in 2-3 years after many ICO projects will show their real face and governments regulatory will be enabled Wink
Good point. NEO is a nice platform and in case people will calm down about ICO regulations in China and stuff like that it is truly able to reach $100. Perhaps it will take more time than less than a year, though. Moreover, predicting ethereum going up was easy. It was a very innovative thing, comparing to everything existing at that time. It is the first real platform and the first coin to offer building smart contracts.
8439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Best centralized exchange on: October 18, 2017, 07:25:08 PM
I think at the moment a good exchanger can be considered Bitfinex. Yes, earlier they had problems, but since then much time has passed and they came out of the situation victorious. They have a headquarters in Hong Kong and therefore are not afraid of regulation by the government. Their only downside is that they do not present services to the citizens of the USA.
I would agree that bitfinex is now rather useful, fast, fees are low and, at least I hope so, it's a good place to keep coins at. Yet, of course, I wouldn't use it in case the coin can be traded on bittrex. I use it only because I keep my IOTA there. Liqui exchange also seems to be okay, even though there've been some scandals with scam-like situation. Again, I use it only for the coins not listed on bigger exchanges. I don't remember it's fees but I believe they are something like bittrex has which is very low.
8440  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH fork today - consequences? on: October 18, 2017, 06:59:00 PM
Hard fork has already been activated! Maybe it's not running full speed but it is active for 2 days now. We can even speak of some results already:
- difficulty bomb is planned to be activated in 18 months
- the block reward is already 3 eth instead of 5 eth
- transactions are getting confirmed faster
- anonymity is increased via zk-Snark.
Mining ethereum is currently a bit unprofitable, but if the price increases just a bit, it would be still at least a bit profitable.
